He thought everybody needed a little bit of spoiling, particularly when they were no bigger than a groundhog. ... You get to be the mother by changing her and giving her a bath and walking her around in the middle of the night and loving her and making her feel like everything's all right. That's how you get to be the mother. That's what being the mother is.
--From "Blessings" by Anna Quindlen
